From: Flame Lizard <ccc@law.com> Subject: [PW!] Pokestock - Celadon's New Annoying Mob Date: Sunday, July 18, 1999 11:38 AM Celadon City, PokeCenter - Suite 2. The room, although well kept otherwise, is a mess. Jared has lived in here since his arrival to Celadon. Clothes are strewn everywhere, pizza boxes and pop cans in the corner. *-*-* Jared gets up out of his bed and wanders to the closet and opens it. He gets a shirt out on puts it on. He still can't hear his very dull, early morning thoughts because of the noise. Jared sits on the bed, grabbing his boots that lay next to it. He pushes them on as he grabs his backpack and slings it on. He walks to the door and opens a cabinet. He grabs his Pokeball and goes outside to find the source of the noise. As Jared steps outside, he looks down the street to see no cards, just a mob of people and large colorful buses behind those people. Someone people are on top of the buses, lying down or sitting. There is a band on top of one bus that is playing. Jared, confused and annoyed walks up to on of the people and walks beside him. "What is the meaning of this?" demands Jared. "Pokestock, man! It's gonna be a week of PARTYING AND FIGHTING man! It's gonna be AWESOME!" the guy says. Jared now notices the man has very long hair and tie-die shirt. "Hippies. Never give up, do you?" Jared says, making his way out the mob. 'I guess this is the best chance ever to start to become a Pokemon master. Another reason to get out of town and out and about.' Jared thinks, walking the stairs back up to his room. He packs up the little things he has and makes his way downstairs. Jared swims and makes his way though the mob and hearing someone saying "man" every second. He finds a bus and jumps onto it. "IT'S POKESTOCK MAN!" Jared yells. The people around turn their heads and yell, almost in unison "YEAH MAN!" 'Losers. I'm just hitching a ride off you hippies so I can get to the bus station.' Jarred thinks, smirk inwardly. Celadon City, Bus Station - Front Desk. The Bus Station is well kept by the bus company. The light blue and white marble floor shines. The light blue tiles on the wall reflect from the light from the chandeliers overhead. The front desk, made of cherry wood is polished to a perfect glimmer. Small slats seem to be cut in the wood in front of each attendant. *-*-* "May I help you, sir?" asks the attendant in an English accent. "Yes, I'd like 1 ticket to... er... Lavender, I guess." Jared says. "Round trip or one-way, sir?" "One-way." "We have a bus leaving in about 10 minutes and another behind that one leaving in about 15 minutes, sir. Which one is of your wishing?" "Er... the first one." The attendant punches some keys on a keyboard behind the desk and a ticket comes out of the small slat in the desk. The attendant grabs the ticket and verifies it. Jared hands the attendant and takes the ticket. "I bid you a good trip, sir." says the attendant. Jared turns and walks outside to where the busses are. Celadon City, Bus Station - Bus Launching Point. Although the Launch seems to be kept in best condition, the "best condition" is quite bad. The road here is worn and the walls seem a old and tired blue. The floor, which should be white tile, has a yellow tint to it. Worn blue carpets cover the tile but, some tile shows. There are 3 buses lined up, all a shimmering royal blue. *-*-* Jared walks to a attendant outside, directing movement of people. "Which bus leaves for Lavender first?" Jared yells over the noise. "That one in the middle. The first one is leaving for Route 15 for a Pokemon Expedition!" says the clerk. Jared makes his way through the crowd and boards the bus. Celadon City, Bus Station - Bus #455 en route to Lavender. The bus has gleaming steel walls and a blue velvet carpet down the center. There is 1 seat to a side, with a table on the isle, the seat by the window. The tables are a polished cherry and the seats are made of soft dark blue leather. *-*-* "May I see your ticket, sir?" asks the driver. "Sure, here it is." says Jared, handing him the ticket. He gives Jared a round blue sticker to put on his shirt. "Wear this. It's your pass to get back on the bus." says the driver. Jared sits down and leans back and falls asleep as the bus takes off for Lavender. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* PS (OOC)> My stories will be longer once I get something to do (i.e. Lavender) just to let you know. Also, any comments on the story?
